The first unabridged English translation of a classic work on dreams by an author regarded as the father of lucid dreaming.First published anonymously in 1867, Dreams and How to Guide Them is the lost classic of lucid dreaming―that is, the art of becoming aware that one is dreaming and then continuing to dream, whether to fly, have erotic encounters, or just explore the dream world further.
